We arrived safely in West Palma Beach around 10am yesterday after a very calm last 24 hours. It then took us two and a half hours to do customs. I will never complain about the inefficiencies of Caribbean customs again. We then had the rigger and carbon specialist on board determining what is required to repair the mizzen boom.

We took the lines in Monday afternoon after catching another Tuna and another Mahi Mahi. Plenty of fish in the freezer now, so a very successful fishing trip. That evening we hope on the Gulf stream and had up to 4 knots of current with us at times.

Hopefully by the end of today we will have US phone numbers which I will put on the website http://www.timoneer.org/contact We will be here for at least 10 days. Then…..? Watch this space.
